I need love, love to ease my mind. I need to find, find someone to call mine. My mama said, you can't hurt in love. No, you just have to wait. She said, love don't come easy. It's a game of give and take. You can't hurt in love. No, you just have to wait. You gon' just live it till it don't matter how long it takes. But how many heartaches must there stand before I find the love to let me live again? Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on when I feel my strength. Yeah, it's almost time I remember. Mama said, no, you just have to wait. She said, love don't come easy. It's a game of give and take. How long must I wait? How much more can I take before loneliness will cause my whole heart to break? No, I can't bear to live my life alone. I grow impatient for the love to come along. But when I feel that I, I can't go on. These precious words keep me hanging on. I remember Mama said, no, you just have to wait. She said, love don't come easy. It's a game of give and take. You can't hurt in love. No, you just have to wait. You gon' just live it till it don't matter how long it takes. No, love don't come easy. But I keep on waiting, anticipating for that soft voice to talk to me at night, for some tender arms to hold me tight. I keep waiting. I keep on just trying to wait. Honey, who's gonna wait? It ain't easy. But Mama said, can't hurt in love. No, you just have to wait. She said, just give it time. No matter how long it takes. Can't hurt in love. No, you just have to wait. She said, love don't come easy. It's a game of give and take. Can't hurt in love. No, you just have to wait. She said, just give it time. No matter how long it takes. You can't hurt in love. No, you just have to wait.
